IMPORTANT FOR UNITED KINGDOM
WORDING FOR CLASS I EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKS AND LABELS
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a molded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the
plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is
detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on
the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to
reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible
shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code :
Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and
YELLOW.
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

• When you disconnect the power plug.
You have to grasp the power plug itself, do not pull the power cord.
If you pull the power cord, you may damage it and it may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Do not touch the power plug just after disconnecting it from the mains or you may receive electric shock.
• Disconnect the power plug from the mains when you don't use the monitor for a long time.
This is for your safety.
• Do not put the monitor in atmosphere with soot, steam, high humidity, and dust.
It may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Do not put the monitor in high temperature atmosphere.
Do not put the monitor in the place exposed to the direct rays of the sun for a long period of time. Heat may cause a fire, transformation, or
melting of the monitor.

SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)
• Do not coil or wind the power cord.
This may cause excessive heat resulting in a fire.
• Caution for 200 - 240V operation only
This equipment relies on the protective devices in the building installation for short - circuit and over - current protection. Refer to the following
table for the suitable number and location of the protective devices which should be provided in the building installation.
INFORMATIVE EXAMPLES OF PROTECTIVE DEVICES IN SINGLE - PHASE

CAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)
• Installation environment
Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.
Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.
Do not put the monitor in the following places.
• Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
• A place where the temperature is widely changing.
• Places with soot, dust or high humidity.
• Poor air ventilation place.
• Place near fire.
• A wet place such as bathroom, or shower room.
• Place where you can trip over it.
• Always vibrating or strongly vibrating places.
• Distorted or unstable places.
• How to view the monitor.
If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired.
Please use it in a reasonably bright room.
Avoid direct rays of the sun to the screen in order to prevent eye fatigue.
Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time.
Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time.
Please watch the monitor in downward direction.
• Note on image retention
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination,
the brightness of the phosphor would be degraded to such extent that still images would image retention that part of the screen as grayed-out
images.
Tips to prevent such image retention are:
- Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns,
for long.
- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen
saver function.
- Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.
• How to clean the monitor.
Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the mains.
When cleaning the monitor, do not spray directly the screen or cabinet with cleaner.
Use a clean, dust free, dry and soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with non-alcoholic or non-ammonia detergent.
Do not rub the surface of the screen with ball-point-pen or screw-driver etc.
• Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers
This monitor has been designed pursuant to the EN55022 class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio receivers.
- Keep the monitor away from Radio.
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive interference.
- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor.
- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.
You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the monitor.
If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the monitor, check the instructions mentioned above.
• Precautions for the monitor
- Use the attached signal-cable when you connect the monitor with PC equipment.
Do not use other signal-cables.
- Confirm the connector is fixed tightly when the signal cable is connected.
Also confirm the screws on the connector are tightened.
- Plug the power cord of the monitor into a different socket from that for other equipment, such as Radio etc..
- Use a plug with ground terminal and make sure that it connects to the ground.
• Precaution during transportation
Please pay attention when you transport this monitor because it is heavy.
Furthermore, use the original carton box and its packaging materials when the monitor is transported.
Failure to transport the monitor in any carton except the original carton may result in damage to the monitor.
Save the original carton box and all packing material.

No stand is provided with this product. When installing the monitor,
use the optional Desk-top Stand (CMPAD05), Wall Mount Unit
(horizontal-mount CMPAK05, vertical/horizontal-mount CMPAK15),
or Ceiling Mount Unit (CMPAT05).
The Desk-top Stand has been used for the illustrations in this
manual.
Using the optional vertical-mount unit
(CMPAK15)
Using the optional wall-mount unit (CMPAK15) allows set to mount
on wall surfaces as shown at below.
1) Make at least four sets of commercial anchor bolts and screws
available to meet various kinds of walls to mount on.
2) Read the instructions supplied with the wall-mount unit carefully to
optimally locate the plasma display on a wall surface.
3) Prepare the wall surface for anchoring and drilling as needed, as
shown in the sketches.
• Make sure that an adequate wall surface strength and a screw
holding strength are available.
